It's bringing horrible flashbacks of when "blog" was forced upon us; an ugly, dumb-sounding term that I still try not to acknowledge.

"D-net" might have been better.

"Vlog" is even worse. It sounds like someone's about to vomit.
Try actually pronouncing "Dweb." Say it a few times. Really get that mouthfeel.

"Vlog" almost sounds cool in comparison.

There's no need to make it one syllable: de-web works well enough for me.
Honestly, after looking over it a few times, I figure "D-Web" is how it was probably intended to be pronounced anyway, and sounds fine.
